Rainbow Six Siege X is currently in its closed beta phase but is gearing up for a wide release in June 2025, catering to both home console and PC gamers. Ubisoft touts this update as the most significant content overhaul in Rainbow Six Siege's history. Among the exciting additions in the closed beta is the Dual Front game mode, which pits teams against each other in 6-on-6 battles.
Dual Front mode introduces a larger scale and more chaotic gameplay experience than what Rainbow Six Siege typically offers. With expansive maps, teams must strategically decide which areas to attack and defend, completing objectives across different zones as they encounter the opposing team. Alongside this new mode, Siege X plans to revamp existing maps, overhaul the user interface, enhance the technical presentation, and refine the online matchmaking system, especially to assist newer players.
